A premise this gentle could've been suffocating—intergenerational tech-support drama, how original—but there's something deliberately *small* about Double Click that actually works against the grain of what we expect from coming-of-age shorts.
The film sits comfortably in a lineage of intimate family portraiture, though its restraint occasionally borders on the formally anonymous; it earns its tenderness through sustained quiet rather than formal innovation.
There's a single choice—maybe in how the camera holds on mundane keystroke moments, or how the sound design lets silence speak between dialogue—that transforms what could be a PSA about digital patience into something genuinely moving about time running out.
